About Us

Empowering Artisans, Enriching Communities

Current Baskets was formed by Morgan Abu, a recent immigrant to the United States from Bolgatanga, Ghana, West Africa. Morgan’s dream is to provide an environmentally safe product while paying the artisans a current, fair price for their creations and giving back to his community.

The Mission of Current Baskets, therefore, is to support the creative work of the local artisans while supporting the local community and providing a natural, sustainable product for consumers.

Current Baskets donates 10% of its profits to the weavers for community development such as providing clean water, subsidizing national health insurance for the weavers, and contributing toward children’s school fees. Your continuing patronage will contribute to empowering these women artisans.

No two baskets are alike. Bolga baskets are hand-woven from native elephant grass. Once the grass is harvested, the weavers strip and dye the grass into beautiful, vibrant colors. After the grass is dyed and dried, the women begin to weave and create unique baskets. These baskets are truly one of a kind.The handles on the baskets are all leather and stitched by hand. Bolga baskets are strong, durable, and can be used for a large variety of purposes (shopping, laundry, storage, etc.) They look beautiful in your home and will make a treasured gift.
